The Vasco Rd Safety Improvements Project - Phase 1 is designed to improve the safety of approximately 1 mile of Vasco Rd between the cities of Brentwood and Livermore. This stretch of twisting Vasco Rd has heavy, fast moving traffic and a history of serious injury accidents. The project consists of installing a concrete median barrier along the 1 mile project limits and widening the southbound pavement to provide a truck climbing lane, thereby eliminating the gap in the existing truck climbing lanes along Vasco Rd. To accommodate these safety improvements, 6 retaining walls, storm drains, wildlife crossings, and a bridge widening will be constructed. This project is anticipated to take 1.5 yrs (2 construction seasons) to complete, anticipated in December 2011. Check out this blog from time to time to see updates on construction progress and facts about the project.

Single Lane Controls - Vasco Road (Nov 1, 4, 5, and 6)

Vasco Road will be under single lane controls through the Contra Costa County median barrier project on November 1, 4, and 5. Traffic will be subject to 30 minute delays from 8:30am to 3:00 pm on the weekdays and from 7am until 6pm on the weekend (Nov 5).

Alameda County also is planning work on Vasco Road that will put the road on single lane controls on November 1, 5 and 6. With both projects (Alameda and Contra Costa County) causing delay on November 1 and 5, the travelling public may be subject to up to 1 hour of delay on those days.

The work in Contra Costa County causing the delay is final signing and striping.

The work in Alameda County causing the delay is paving of the roadway.

If you have any questions, please contact Neil Leary of Contra Costa County at (925) 313-2278.
